R.S. Brown 1965 Journal Kauai, Hawaii 3 Sept. Arrived on Kauai from Honolulu at 1400 - Hawaiian Airlines. Rented a Volkswagen at the airport and went to check in at the Kauai Sur Hotel where we had reservations. After getting squared away at the hotel, eating etc., we drove out to Kilohana Lighthouse off Rt. 56, arrived 1830 and proceeded to make a psp. count of red-footed Bobbies, Frugates and wedge-tails. One segment of the Bobly colony was on the east slope of the point adjacent to the lighthouse. Another segment was just south of this on the east slope. An island to the north a few hundred yards off shore also contained a colony of Red foots and one of Frugates. Estimate of Point about 400 RFB. Count - ad - 130 Subad. 10 Imm: 158 Nestig: 20 estimation Island RFB 130 CFig. 200 A number of Redfoots came in to the point through the night plus those that were seen going into nests below the edge of the cliff probably would join the total up to R.S. Brown 1965 Journal Kauai, Kauai 3 Sept. cont. about 680 for both islands and point. 55 mers banded at the point (no possibility of reaching the island). 25 returns were taken. Wedge tails were scattered all around the point on all 3 sides and down over the cliffs. The cliff is more sheer on west side - ca. 300 -400 ft at the point. Most birds are inaccessible. The majority of birds started coming in just at dusk. Burrows are scattered through the dense shrubbery along the sand in the grass patches on all sides of the point and down over the cliff, presumably in dirt patches along the ledges. The few nests checked in front of the lighthouse contained chicks about 1/3 groups. The ground is very hard and cannot be dug out by hand - hence the few burrows checked. An estimated 5000 adults about. 133 mers banded and 54 returns were recorded. After moving through the Red- Foot Slope once, the birds spotted at second attempt and the rest of the time spent on wedge-tails. Party finished work at 0130 and returned to hotel.
